[Primera Parte]

F7M                            C
Did you ever make it back to El Dorado
G                             Am
I'd call and ask but hell if I know
F                     C
If I still got your number or if you
 G
Care
F7M                             C
You moved away when you was younger
        G                  Am
Was it escape or was it hunger
F7M                 C            G
Kansas ain't no place to be a man
F7M                          C
You used to say you'd settle down
G                                  Am
With that kind girl from school in town
F7M                       C
But she was gone before you got back
  G
Home

[Estribillo]

   C
To El Dorado
G
Hell if I know
Am                F7M 
If you're still alive
          C          G              Am
There's a note in the glovebox in your
      F7M 
Drive
C
El Dorado
G
Hell if they know
Am                    F7M 
The difference in a hero
      C                 G       Am F7M 
And a man I wish was still by my side

F7M             C
Seventeen years old
        G                    Am
How our grins look scary and brave
F7M                C               G
My momma always said we look so handsome
            Am
When we shave

( F7M  C  G  Am )

            F7M                 C
You used to say, if not you then who
           G                 Am
You'd go a thousand times or two

        F7M            C             G
Now your names up on a sign in El Dorado

Driving through

Hell if I know
Am                F7M 
If you're still alive
          C          G              Am
There's a note in the glovebox in your
      F7M 
Drive
C
El Dorado
G
Hell if they know
Am                    F7M 
The difference in a hero
      C                 G       Am F7M 
And a man I wish was still by my side
C               G          Am
Your every last memory of mine

[Tercera Parte]

       F7M                C
And I called last week to talk
         G                Am
To my favorite old deviled dog
F7M                  C              G
You told me he had finally headed home
